Got new kit coming tomorrow, just wondering what psu would work best with a budget of £80?

Thanks mate, will certainly look into it, although was told a multi rail would be more beneficial?

Well according to a review on another site that PSU can deliver 52 amps on the 12 volt rail, probably more than enough. Don't just assume that more is better, If there are multiple 12v rails on a PSU but all are really low amperage then that defeats the point
